Mad Max: Fury Road - Part 2

[MrMaooz]

I confess that when one of the earlier trailers debuted, I had "WHAT A DAY. WHAT A LOVELY DAY" stuck in my head for a long time. It's too fun to say.

The guitar player/sh**-ton of amplifiers scene seems a bit out of place in a Mad Max movie IMO. It looks super-cool, but - in a world where fuel/power supplies are extremely limited - I find it hard to believe someone would waste resources in powering a massive set of amps to play a guitar. What's the point? Hopefully it's not just been put in to 'wow' the audience.

Maybe it just seems strange out of context, and in the movie it'll make perfect sense (??)

John Schnepp saw the film and said their bigger vehicles work through music. t:

Tom Hardy Is Signed for Three More ‘Mad Max’ Movies

 

[Sawyer]

Fingers crossed that this one is successful enough to warrant sequels.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Dear Crom,

Make this film awesome and sexy enough for sequels.

And if you don't listen DEN TO HELL WITH YOU!

 

[Sawyer]

Speak English, Sam.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Speak English, Sam.

He is... Or at least more intelligibly than Arnold does.

Saw the latest trailer before Furious 7 today. The desert scenes look amazing on the big screen.

 

[Tg11]

And seeing the newest trailer them adding all the other scenes in this movie into the trailer making it extended like this seeing the violence in this, seeing the hardships Max has to go through and his never ending journey to survive in the desert I can finally say that now we can make room for a new Mad Max, Mel Gibson who?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Eh... Let's wait and see. I like Hardy, and I love what we've seen so far but puddings and tastings and all that.

 

[TheVileOne]

I might eat crow on this, but I can't see this movie being a big box office success.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I might eat crow on this, but I can't see this movie being a big box office success.

I hope you do too.

 

[Sawyer]

It's got a trailer being sampled with Fast and Furious' inevitably huge audience, showing insane, over-the-top car action, post-apocalypse and a slave harem. Plus, we'll have the BVS trailer running before the film.

I think it'll do well.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

It's hard to believe that the director of this film also directed a film about a talking pig and a dancing penguin. Oh... And both were really awesome films about talking pigs and dancing penguins.

The Road Warrior is up on YT.

It still hold up, mane.

So what?

It's not the same type of audience. The Fast & Furious films are much broader, appealing poppy action movies.

Sawyer, you do realize that Watchmen had a trailer in front of Dark Knight, that didn't really make that movie a bigger hit. It takes more than trailers to make a hit movie.

Even Terminator Salvation had some slick trailers that people were going gaga over.

 

[Sawyer]

Hey, listen, I was just trying to reassure myself after you decided to throw a wet blanket on things, I don't need a history lesson.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The Road Warrior is up on YT.

It really does. The stunt work, Gibson's performance, the production design, the thrills, the characters... They all still work like gangbusters. I watched it a few months back, I had forgotten I even had it on DVD, and I hadn't seen it in a long while, maybe like 7 years or more. It was as good as I remembered.

What's exciting about Fury Road is we are talking about the man who did all those great practical effects in the original trilogy, who has also been involved with the evolution of CGI and is comfortable with that aspect of modern film making as well. I bodes well for an amazing marriage of both in this film.

 

[TheVileOne]

Your reassurance is based on flawed logic. Giving the movie a big trailer that people want to see doesn't always equate to box office success either. If that were true, people would've actually seen Wing Commander.

Plus, trailers are just easy to get on your phones these days.

 

[Sawyer]

Yes, well.... Uh...

 

[Anita18]

Panties were dropped.

Pretty much my reaction.

 

[Schlosser85]

Mad Max has always been more of a cult following than a major mainstream franchise.

 

[samsnee]

Do we know if Mel has a cameo in this?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Would WB want any involvement with Gibson after how tarnished his rep is these days?

 

[DyeLorean]

I haven't seen any of the Mad Max movies. Should I? Have they hold up well?
